高三英语周考1 Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints（指纹） and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.The ridge （隆起） structure on a person's fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. 2 Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take. Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer's ink. They can by recorded easily. 3 Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. 4When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye.5 Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.A. Special techniques are used to "develop" them.B. A fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all part of the finger.C. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.D. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.E. A latent print is the chance reproduction of the friction ridges deposited on the surface of an item.F. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.G. Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable.BIt is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.Most do not fully see this truth. 6 It seems to them that their difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.7 Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomforable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.89 When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.10 As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.A. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure.B. Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing.C. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.D. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.E. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.F.We can register to make money and participate in problem solving collaboration (合作、协作) groups.G. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.C11With the invention of the Internet several decades ago, do you feel that since then it has made us human beings feel more connected to the world and one another, or has it isolated（使孤立）us and made us feel more alone than ever before?What about you as an individual?● 12 The Internet enables us to know what’s happening in the world. We couldn't imagine talking to people everywhere in the world twenty years ago.● 13 It unites us because we talk to others from all around our country and tha world, but the Internet can be addicting, and keep us away from people for a while, There is an inherent (内在的) human need for direct human contact (e.g. touching, talking face to face, etc.) that the Internet has all taken away.● 14 It has given me freedom beyond my imagination. I’m home-bound with many duties to attend to. My life is a bit too crowded. Duties duties duties. I get lost many times not knowing who I really am！This medium is my best friend. It just lets me BE！I can speak here without fear or favour.● 15 Chatting online is completely different from hanging out with friends outside or hearing their voice over the phone．I find that it’s not just the Internet that has increased this sense of isolation，even iPods，MP3s，such devices kind of separate us，make us lose focus on the everyday happenings of life．A. I think that the Internet isolates as well as unites us.B. I believe it unites us more than it isolates us.C. Do you feel that the Internet unites us or isolates us?D. What is happening in the world today?E. The Internet is playing a more and more important role.F. I think it has isolated us more.G. I am truly grateful for this new technology.DThe official Olympic cheerleaders(拉拉队队长)are a lot different than what you would see on the sidelines at basketball or American-style football games. Cheerleader director Paola Bosio says about 500 girls tried out to become Olympic cheerleaders.“At the end we chose100 girls. We have six groups, three working in ice hockey, two at speed skating and one in the mountains. So this is the first time that there is cheerleading in the Olympic Games.”Fans disagree on whether the cheerleaders are entertaining or just a kind of distraction. After all, they do not actually cheer and they do not wear skimpy uniforms. The all-girl squad（班，队）, which ranges in age from 15 to 26, is dressed in bright orange and gold uniforms that cover them almost from shoulder to toe.Besides not cheering for any particular team at an event, the focus of the routines is different. It is not the loud and spirited gymnastic performance one might see at college and high school events in the United States, but is more dance-oriented.Cheerleader Camilla of Turin is 20 years old and has studied dance since she was 10. Her background includes classical dance and ballet as well as modern dance and pop. This is her first time as a cheerleader and she says she is enjoying the new experience.Some fans expressed the opinion that the pom-pom waving and dancing was distracting because it took the focus off the athletic event they had come to see. But Kathy Moine of Los Angeles, California, had a different understanding, as well as an interesting theory about the cheerleader’s costumes.“I think they’re just supposed to be neutral and they’re supposed to be the Olympic torches,”she said.“Not for any country but just supporting everybody, happy to be in the Olympics.”If by definition, cheerleaders should cheer for one side and make a lot of noise, then the Olympic squad still has a lot to learn. But if they are just here to look good and liven up the atmosphereduring time-outs, many would agree they have been a complete success.( )16．Where most likely can you enjoy the performance of the cheerleaders?A．In the mountains.B．During speed skating events.C．In a dance-oriented competition.D．At ice hockey games.( )17．We can infer from the passage that _______.A．we would find no cheerleaders in former Olympic GamesB．most of the sports fans are against the cheerleaders C．only Americans enjoy the Olympic Games cheerleaders very muchD．it’s an easy job to be a cheerleader( )18．The example of Cheerleader Camilla shows us that ______.A．all the cheerleaders are young and beautifulB．the cheerleaders should be quite good at dancingC．the cheerleaders are dressed littleD．it is difficult to be chosen as a cheerleader( )19．What’s the main purpose of the cheerleaders according to the writer?A．To support one side or team.B．To draw the audience’s attention.C．To bring a warmer competing atmosphere.D．To dance classical dance.( )20．What’s the best title of the text?A．How Cheerleaders WorkB．The History of CheerleadersC．Cheerleaders Draw Attention at Turin OlympicsD．The Influence of Cheerleaders at Turin Olympics答案：1-5 ___________________ 6-10 __________________11-15___________________ 16-20___________________。

葫芦岛市一中学2024—2024学年度下学期高三周考（六）英语试题第I卷（选择题）第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节阅读理解（每小题2分, 共30分）ADoctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts(腹部按压), which you can do by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. Put your arms around the victim’s waist. Close one hand to form a ball. Place it over the upper part of the stomach, below the ribs. Place the other hand on top. Then push forcefully inward and upward. Repeat the abdominal thrusts until the object is expelled from the mouth. For someone who is pregnant or very fat, place your hands a little higher than with normal abdominal thrusts.Red Cross experts say taking these steps can save many lives. But they also warn that abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned. They say use of the method could delay other ways to re-start breathing in the victim. Abdominal thrusts should be used only in cases where a near-drowning victim is choking on an object.To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or organization like a Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. There may be training classes offered in your area.21.According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT the common cause ofaccidental poisonings?A .harmful medicine B. A cleaning liquidC. Poisonous insectsD. Dangerous pesticide(杀虫剂)22. The underlined word “expelled” in paragragh2 can be replaced by “”.A. coming outB. taking upC. going awayD. getting down23. Why abdominal thrusts are not for people who have almost drowned?A. Because people are unwilling to attempt rescue effortsB. Because it is hard to performC. Because it is no need to do soD. Because it could hold up other ways to re-start breathing in the victim24. What is the author’s purpose in writin g this text?A. To promote medical researchB. To share some knowledge about first aidC. To show how to perform abdominal thrustsD. To help people deal with accidental poisoningBAt your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch (荷兰语)and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds---nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is w hen you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there is understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.In contract, when t here’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.25. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?A. The DutchB. AmericansC. The EnglishD. The Japanese26. What might the Japanese agree with in conversation?A. Speaking more gives the upper handB. Speak out what you have in your mindC. Great minds think alike without wordsD. The shorter talk ing silence, the better27. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?A. SimilarityB. ContradictionC. DiversityD. Misunderstanding28. What can we learn from the text?A. A four second silence in conversation is universalB. It’s hard for American to reach a common agreementC. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakersD. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appearsCIt is reported that in the near future robots and humans will probably work together to create jazz．A singing robot is being taught to create jazz with human being in a project．Antonio Chella from Italy is working with a Telenoid robot. To start with，the Telenoid will be trained to imitate the movements and simple sounds made by a human singer，and then connect music with different human emotions．Previous robots had the ability to find common connections between things. But Chella suggests that a conscious robot should be able to go a step further and find new connections. The Telenoid is of this kind．“This work raises interesting questions about the connection between consciousness and music creating.” says Philippe Pasquier．A musician needs a physical body．Pasquier argues that the robot musician is faced with a big challenge．“Its software has already been developed and it can imitate The Beatles，a famous band．However，what made The Beatles famous were not only their songs but their wonderful performance of the songs.” he says．It is not clear how a robot would perform music in a new way．But by imitating humans，the Telenoid robot could provide some useful information. What is important is that human musicians often listen to and compare music made by others for a long time before creating music of their own. So the Telenoid robot had better listen to more jazz music first．29. What will the Telenoid robot be taught to do first?A. Communicate with human beings．B. Connect music with human emotions．C. Live and work comfortably with human beings．D. Imitate the movements and simple sounds of a human singer．30. In Pasquier’s opinion, the Telenoid robot________.A. will replace human musicians soonB. may have trouble performing musicC. will become more popular than The BeatlesD. can find connections between things that humans cannot find31. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?A. The Telenoid，future robot musician．B. How to teach robots to perform music．C. The right music the robots should listen to．D. Differences between a human singer and a robot musician．DCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will alsoneed to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops—at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with ever y day.”32. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect?A. Planting more trees in the streets.B. Covering the streets with white paint.C. App lying reflective paint to rooftops.D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.33. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer?A. How to make the city cooler.B. Where to wear a white shirt.C. Why to coat the roads with blac k paint.D. When to cut off the electricity supply.34. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal?A. Increasing the indoor activities.B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners.C. Making life easier and more comfortable.D. Reducing the number of cold days.35. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat.B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming.C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets.D. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.其次节阅读填空（每小题2分, 共10分）.依据内容,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThe annual World Economic Forum (经济论坛) took place in Davos, Switzerland, in Jan. 23-26, 2018. What did Chinese entrepreneurs (企业家) speak in the forum? Are there some quotable quotes for you?★Jack Ma, founder and executive chairman of Alibaba Group“I think globalization cannot be stopped — no one can stop globalization, no one can stop trade. If trade stops, the world stops. Trade is the way to dissolve (溶解，结束) the war not cause the war,” said Ma in Davos, “Google, Facebook, Amazon and Alibaba —we are the luckiest companies of this century. But we have the responsibility to have a good heart, and do something good.”★Richard Liu, founder and chief executive officer of JD“Business is not only a way to make money but also a way to contribute yourself, to help people,” Liu said in a speech in Davos. “How can we face the fractured (分化的) world? That’s the topics of the Davos this year. I think a very important thing in business is cooperation. If we can unite, work together, if we work very closely, I think we can bring more hope to the people and we can build more trust between the people, countries and companies and partners,” he said.★Jane Sun, CEO of Ctrip“Tourism is a sunrise industry. Since I entered Ctrip, every year there are new comers, which, first of all, shows that tourism is booming.” Sun told in Davos. “We invested heavily in ABC. A refers to AI, B is big data, and C is cloud computing. As we continue to expand overseas, these three will be very good weapons for us. So we think those mean opportunity,” she said.★Hu Xiaoming, president of Aliyun“In 2018, people will see the development in various countries more closely connected with cloud computing. More manufacturing enterprises and financial institutions will start to use ‘cloud’, and cloud computing will incr ease the efficiency of technology and finance,” Hu told Xinhua in Davos.21. What do Chinese entrepreneurs like Jack Ma and Richard Liu focus more on?A. More huge jumps in profits.B. The joined efforts of mankind.C. Reducing production costs.D. The role of science in business.22. What is the main business of Ctrip?A. Tourism.B. The creation of AI.C. Computer.D. Financial service online.23. What does Hu think will promote global economic development?A. Economy recovery.B. The World Economic Forum.C. Cloud computing.D. Financial efficiency.BIf you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple — eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory — where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV — where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions (交易) from the start.”Harley Street psychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.”24. According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ______.A. has the same taste as themB. advertises his products on TVC. reduces the price of his productsD. pays attention to the quality of his products25. The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ______.A. food plays an important role in earni ng people’s trustB. bosses like employees that have the same taste as themC. people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn moreD. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.B. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.C. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.D. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.27. Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?A. Honesty is the best policy.B. All good things come to an end.C. Birds of a feather flock together.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.C“Tomorrow is another day” —this line has impressed various people at various times. It’s now 70 years after it appeared in the film, but it still seems to hold its power especially during an economic downturn.The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell’s successful 1936 novel Gone With the Wind. It’s set in the American South and tells the story of a strong heroine, Scarlett O’ Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships.Love storyIn a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many audiences, it is the theme of love and struggle that has kept the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta might seem irrelevant (不相关的) to today’s viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people.With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie. But her heart is broken when Rhett just walks away, leaving the woman that he once loved with cruel words, “Frankly, dear, I don’t give a damn.” (毫不在乎)Great epic (史诗)The film shows the love-hate relationship of these characters, but also American history, the fall of the Confederacy and the following period of Reconstruction in the South. The background made this film a true classic inthe epic genre.When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (侵略), people stood in line for hours to watch this film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins. Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind never lost its charm and ability to inspire and amaze. Biggest of all timeThe film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget. The film brought in $200 million, which makes it the biggest selling film of all times in North America. It also won 10 Academy awards in 1940.28. The underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refers to ______.A. the novel Gone with the WindB. “tomorrow is another day”C. the movie Gone with the WindD. the Academy Award29. The text is written mainly to ______.A. celebrate the anniversary of Margaret MitchellB. introduce how the film was directed and filmedC. throw light on (阐述) the charm of the movie “Gone with the Wind”D. inspire people to struggle the economic downturn30. It can be concluded that Scarlett O’ Hara is ______.A. optimistic and luckyB. childish and realisticC. caring and stubbornD. strong-minded and persistent (坚毅的)31. The passage mentions Shanghai in order to ______.A. prove that the background of the movie touched viewersB. describe how popular the movie was at that timeC. point out that Shanghai was a center of entertainmentD. tell us that Chinese were suffering the War thenDWhat Cocktail Parties Teach UsYou’re at a party. Music is playing. Glasses are clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktail-party effect”.Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain — in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “it’s as if only one person was speaking alone,” says investigator Edward Chang.These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren’t very good at multitasking —our brains are wired for “selective attention” and can focus on only one thing at a t ime. That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激). But we keep trying to push the limits with multitasking, sometimes with tragic (悲剧的) consequences. Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren’t.Man y of those accidents are due to “inattentional blindness”, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they aren’t focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (视网膜) and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “It’s a push-pull relationship — the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,” says Diane M. Beck, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation, not the device, that is distracting theirattention.
